North Shropshire by-election

[Hollis]

In some ways I think the Tories winning would be the best result in the long term.

 

[prunus]

You, sir/madam, are an incorrigible tease.

 

[steeplejack]

No point waiting up for this one. Lib Dems spinning losing lines already.

Hurrah for the fucking yellow scum .

 

[PR1Berske]

First byelection victory from third place since George Galloway in Bradford.

 

[Calamity1971]

I love that sky news electoral expert is Professor Thrasher .

 

[PR1Berske]

The reduction in the Conservative share of the vote is their third worst ever, behind Christchurch 1993 and Rochdale 1958.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Not just took it, the LD's smashed it.

 

[Supine]

Fantastic. How ya feeling Boris?

 

[Dogsauce]

Nice thing to wake up to. For some reason I have Nat King Cole singing that ‘there may be trouble ahead….” line in my head.

Bonus that Ed Davey is self isolating so that he’ll have to do that blue wall demolition thing on his son’s pedal tractor with Duplo bricks, the soft twat.

Johnson’s aides going to be spending the morning getting quotes from Pickfords. Another Downing Street redecoration incoming too.

 

[Dogsauce]

How expensive are Sunak’s tastes in wallpaper likely to be?

 

[Balbi]

Labour going from 12,000+ to 3,000 is very funny.

 

[Dogsauce]

Labour going from 12,000+ to 3,000 is very funny.

They can’t even honestly shrug it off as a tactical vote in a safe seat, given they were in the best position to take it. Threw it away.

 

[Balbi]

Worst Labour result in the seat ever lmao

With just 3 votes, Yolande Kenward has set a new record for lowest ever number of votes at a byelection.

A modern blend of obvious illness and nasty anti Vax. Yolande Ann Kenward for North Shropshire in the UK Parliament elections

Easier for blues to go yellow than red though

 

[ruffneck23]

I'm so glad I weirdly woke up 5 mins before the result, then went back to sleep with a smile on my face after hearing it

 

[Dom Traynor]

It's a shit result. Fuck the yellow scum. Don't get me wrong I didnt want the blue scum or Keir Scum's Labour to win either. But I hope the yellow rats lose it next time. I also hope Johnson weather's this storm all the way to the election.

Starmer is working on that one.

 

[kebabking]

If you've not had the opportunity, take a peek at Shropshire council's Twitter feed from last night - funny as fuck.

Comforting to think of all the Tory MPs waking up this morning and how much their anuses will be twitching. Tears In the cornflakes. Tetchy with the wife.
